    A trolling motor or kicker can save your butt if the big motor dies for any reason, and it will at some point. A four stroke runs smooth and quiet while a two stroke of equal hp has slightly more torque. One of my first boats was an older 16' fiberglass similar to yours. It had a Mercury 1000 which was 100hp. Now I have a much more modern aluminum 18' walleye boat with a 150 Evenrude. I mostly fish but sometimes use it for cruising or towing my kids on tubes or skis. Welcome to the costly but fun world of boating. Be safe.

    Greetings,
    Words to live by.
    USE REVERSE as a BRAKE and turn the wheel sharply.
    It won't take long to figure it out and you will glide up sideways and never hit a dock again.
    In and out of gear and make sure to give it some power when throwing it in reverse. Idle speed won't help.
    Reverse is very quick and back to neutral and forward.
    Its easy Bro. Just don't panic or get in a hurry.
    Works well when Wind, Wakes and Waves are working against you.
    My favorite side was Port to dock on. This way console was not in the way of boarding.
    Oh and good thinking on the outboard up grade. You will enjoy the trim and tilt feature.
    Dang Taylor I am so excited and Happy that you Did It!! Got your boat.
    Now go make some lasting memories.
    One Last Thing ...
    Always Double check the wench strap and safety chain and PLUG each time you load.
    I failed to double check my self on my last Brand New off the show room floor boat and the guy that came with me unhooked my strap and I hear these guys yelling so I stopped and found only the bow of my boat on my trailer. Thank God I always tilt my engine up infill in the water.
    I double check EVERYONE who helps out now.
    Thanks for all you do

    Nothing holds like a compound granny knot! Clove hitch is very useful knot. Just go slow and remember that your brakes are reverse! Always put your bumpers out! If you are going to troll with your larger motor you may want to get a drift sock or change the prop to go slower. I would keep the kicker for trolling and as a spare tire. They make in-expensive steering rods to connect the two motors so you can steer with the steering wheel.

    Welcome to boat ownership they get expensive really quick but they give a ton of enjoyment. If you are anything like we were and I have been around boats my entire life... you will get the "we need a bigger boat" flu I'd say in about 3 months LOL... enjoy Taylor you deserve this!!! PS the drone footage was great happy you didn't lose it at sea/lake. :)

    @VikingVanMan 5 лет назад +3

    1 you should be backing into that spot it would be easier ! 2 when you tie on the cleat always flip every time don't rely on one flip not ! 3 keep your kicker it's back up when you're mane quits and trust me it will ! 4 always dock on your control side if you can because you can see better ! 5 learn how to trim your motor so the boat will go through the water faster ! 6 the long pole you have is called a gaff ! 7 if you want to learn how to splice rope I can teach you let me know ! Skål !!!

  • @andrewdraper2548
    @andrewdraper2548 5 лет назад +1

    $4300 for a boat that you probably won't have to do ANYTHING to this year... FANTASTIC! you're doing everything right man, just keep in mind when you get a bigger boat that fenders are your friend.

  • @thenintendoboy1

    • @Gantzz321
      @Gantzz321 5 лет назад +7

      more like PUT THEM OUT instead of ramming the dock over and over again with the hull of the boat.

      I agree!

  • @paranoy69
    @paranoy69 5 лет назад +1

    Hello young man. take the time to tame your boat. always take your time when approaching a dock. patience is a virtue in boating.
    You must anticipate the displacement of your boat and the reaction of it to the wind. take the time to place your fenders bumpers on the side of your boat before making your approach to dock at the dock.
    I wish you a nice day.

    • @thomas194907
      @thomas194907 5 лет назад

      you're so right, when docking always have the fenders out and in a small marina when busy.both sides

  • @2001pontiactransam
    @2001pontiactransam 5 лет назад

    Congrats! Just my 2-Sense, it's nice to have a kicker motor, just in case something happens out there to get you back to the dock. I have had a few boats in my life, and the kicker motor was a life saver when no ones on the lake, happy boating my friend!🖒

  • @kaydoubleyou4316
    @kaydoubleyou4316 5 лет назад

    Taylor, this reminds me of taking my boat out for the first time. I had no experience either so I took it to my local lake on a drizzly Wednesday morning assuming I'd have the place to myself. Wow, was I wrong! It just so happened that was the morning all the local fire departments were doing their water rescue training. Picture 100 muscle bound firefighters carrying around boats and gear like a bunch of Navy Seals! I almost aborted and went back home, but I didn't. I just feigned confidence and acted like I knew what I was doing...and since that day I've loved every minute of owing a boat.
    One piece of advice (boat people love giving unsolicited advice)...don"t go out unless you're 100% comfortable with the conditions and traffic on the lake. People might try to get you out on a lake that's over your skill level. I live in Michigan and friends ask if we can go out on Lake Michigan. I've never said yes. Haha. Or there's the situation where you've promised someone a ride so you feel kind of pressured, but the weather is marginal. Don't be afraid to postpone.
    I hope you're having a blast!

    • @Bansheeboat
      @Bansheeboat 5 лет назад

  • @hyker8787

  • @Shoshanim222
    @Shoshanim222 5 лет назад +3

    The boat came with the stick was my favorite part! 😂 Get a Tow Plan dude. That will save you hundreds of dollars if you ever need a tow! Also, get an experienced captain to show you how to properly dock a boat. You’re coming in waaaay too fast! It isn’t like a car at all. Read up a little online to know what to do in different conditions too. Get some more bumpers. Docks can be unforgiving. ❤️🎺❤️

  • @dandersonjr
    @dandersonjr 5 лет назад +1

    You my friend have quickly learned the most important part of equipment on a boat is the power. You have leap frogged over one of the most disappointing factors of owning a boat by purchasing a four stroke fuel injected motor. My only advice is unless you are going way off shore and feel the need of the security of a second power unit on your vessel don't put the kicker motor on your boat. It adds weight and now you don't really need it. Congratulations.

    • @Bansheeboat
      @Bansheeboat 5 лет назад

      4 strokes are expensive and don't smell as good!

    For cleaning carbs, the best thing i've ever found is "ChemDip" I bought it at walmart (as much as I try to avoid that place) and it works great. Soak all the carb parts that are metal in it for 24 hours and them spray it off with a good carb cleaner like CRC. Works great but make sure you get all the chem dip off or it can gum up! I used it on a few dirt bikes and it does the job perfect! Glad to see you are in a boat, ive spent most of my summers on one!

  • @wildman4642

  • @Pomaco4U
    @Pomaco4U 5 лет назад

    I sooo know how you feel! Bought my first boat last fall and this summer was the first summer of using the boat. I guess a good rule to docking is, don't go in at a faster speed then you are willing to hit the dock at. Slow is a sign of a pro (like I am one :) ). I too bought a very cheap boat that I fixed up a little and use it to learn how to drive and handle a boat. Boat is a Vator 17ft with a 70hp 2stroke Yamaha. Plenty of fun for the money

  • @danielc5205
    @danielc5205 5 лет назад

    One of my biggest pet peeves as a boat owner is that there is always a group of people fishing off of the boat dock that I want to use. As a boat owner, I pay extra taxes/fees on my boat every year for the privilege to have unimpeded access the boat docks.

    Looking at that forward deck, I bet with a bit of work you will be able to bring back that gelcoat to a nice blue shine. I use Mcquirers boat polishes and waxes, been very satisfied in their performance. They make a light oxidation removing formula that can be appied with a orbital polishers or by hand, really cuts thru the oxidation without removing the gelcoat. Is the antennae for a fm radio? If so I would relocate it. Would find it is some distracting. Congratualtions on the boat, I can't wait to get ours back in the water.

  • @travelingwithrick

    4 stroke engines are better suited for trolling, 2 strokes don't like to be run at the same slower rpm for a longer time - so I was told...so sell the kicker...

    That's awesome. Btw, I'm jealous of your docking situation. I'm from an area of heavy current, low tides and wind. It almost easier to get out some time and pull it with you. Definitely try and find some hard areas to practice in as well so you'll always be prepared. Especially if you have to dock during a bad storm or travel somewhere not as easy. Not trying to be rude, but it doesn't get any easier docking than that. Good luck though and happy sailing!
